Description

~2~72~

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

1. Field of the Invention . .
The present invention relates to a compressed powder formulation containing a substantial amount of at least one organophilic clay. The present invention also relates to a process for making the form~lation.
2. Description of the Prior_Art Known antiperspirant solid formulations basically fall into four categories, namely suspensoid sticks, wax-based sticks, gelled sticks and pressed powder sticks. However, each of these types of sticks possesses certain disadvantages. A typical suspensoid or suspension stick is described in U.S. Patent No.
4,12~,679 and consists of a powdered antiperspirant active ingredient suspended in a base consisting of a fatty alcohol and a liquid siloxane. To prepare the base, the ingredients are heated to a critical temperature range, cooled at a critical rate and poured at a temperature just above the congealing point of the mass. Once the stick is cast, it will very often have voids in the middle caused by uneven cooling rates within the stick.
Further processing is needed to eliminate the voids. As should be apparent from this process description, the currently marketed suspensoid sticks are both energy and time intensive.
A further type of suspensoid stick is disclosed in U.S.
Patent No. 4,440,742. The stick consists essentially of an alkali metal bicarbonate and an optional suspending agent which is dispersed in a soap which comprises a polyhydric alcohol, alone or with a monohydric alcohol, which is gelled with an ~2~24Z

alkali metal salt of a fatty acid. The suspending agent can be colloidal or pyrogenic silica, colloidal alumina, hydrophobically treated clays or colloidal magnesium aluminum silicates.
As their name indicates, wax-based sticks contain a substantial amount of wax and therefore exhibit several inherent disadvantages. The first is the difficulty of washing the wax residue left on the clothes which can cause discoloration. The second disadvantage has to do with the naturally hydrophobic character of the waxes. That is, since the commonly used active ingredients must go into solution before they exert their effects, the wax-coating of the powered antiperspirant or deodorant ingredients inhibits the perspiration from dissolving such ingredients, This naturally decreases the efficiency of the wax-based sticks.
The gelled sticks, such as based on sodium stearate as set forth in U.S. Patent No. 4,322,400 or based on dibenzaldehyde-monosorbitol acetal as set forth in U.S. Patent No. 4,154,816, often suffer from a stability problem when used in combination with an antiperspirant agent. The acidity of common antiperspirant agents exemplified by aluminum chlorohydrate and aluminum zirconium compounds tend to break down the sodium stearate gel structure or the dibenzaldehyde thereby dele-teriously affecting the performance of the stick. In an attempt to alleviate the problem, a complexed structure of aluminum chlorohydrate and sodium chlorhydroxy lactate has been tradi-tionally used with a sodium stearate gel, but since the compound has been rendered basic due to the sodium lactate association, it loses a signifi.cant portion of its antiper~pirant activity.

~2772~Z

Attempts have also been made in the past to provide dry, pressed powder sticks useful in the cosmetics and toiletries market. These efforts have been focused in basically two directions, the withdrawal of the processing solvents after preparation and direct-compression. The withdrawal or evapo-ration of the solvents after stick formation as described in U.S.
Patent No. 4,414,200 is still energy or time consuming because a suspensoid stick must still be formed before the additional process step of evaporation.
Traditional direct-compression sticks, because of the hydrophillic character of the bases used, tend to absorb water from the air or moist environments like a bathroom or human axilla. This water both swells the base, causing it to expand and crack, and partially solubolizes any powdered active ingredients, causing a glazing of the stick surface. This glaze reduces or eliminates the payout property of the stick, largely rendering it ineffective.

It is accordingly a general object of the present invention to provide a compressed powder formulation which alleviates many of the problems of the prior art.
It is a more specific object of the present invention to provide a compressed powder formulation with an acceptable payout.
It is a further object of the present invention to provide a compressed powder formulation which maintains a substantially constant payout even after being exposed to moisture.

~27724~

It is a still further object of the present invention to provide a process of preparing a compressed powder formulation which process is efficient and results in an acceptable product.
In one aspect, the present invention provides a compressed powder formulation consisting essentially of:
a) from about 10 to about 99,95~ by weight of an organophilic clay; and b) from about 0.05 to about 90% by weight of at least one topical agent wherein the compressed powder formulation maintains its physical integrity upon handling, has a payout of from about 10 to about 100 milligrams and retains at least about 90~ of its original payout after being contacted with water.
In another aspect~ the present invention provides a process for making a compressed powder formulation. The process comprises:
a) mixing from about 10 to about 99.95~ by weight of an organophilic clay and from about 0.05 to about 90% of at least one topical agent to obtain a substantially uniform powderous mixture, and b) compressing the powderous mixture at a pressure in the range of from about 200 to about 1600 pounds per square inch to obtain a compressed powder formulation which maintains its physical integrity upon handling, has a payout of from about 10 to about 100 milligrams and retains at least about 90~ of its original payout after being contacted with water.

DE',CRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS
As stated hereinabove, one aspect of the present invention relates to a compress~d powder formulation. The 3LZ7~24Z

compressed powder formulation consists essentially of from about 10 to about 99.95% by weight, preferably from about 40 to 80~ by weight of organophilic clay and from about 0.05 to about 90% by weight, preferably from about ?0 to about 60~ by weight of at least one topical agent.
The organophilic clay used in the present invention may be selected from those organophilic clays well known in the art including those which are commercially available. In particular, the organophilic clay may be the reaction product of a smectite-type clay having a cationic exchange capacity of at about least 75 milliequivalents per 100 grams of clay and at least one organic cation as will be defined below. Illustrative commercially available organophilic clays are illustrated by those available from NL Chemicals, Inc. of Hightstown, N.J. under the trademark "Bentone".
The smectite-type clays are well known in the art and are available from a variety of sources. The clays are preferably converted to the sodium form if they are not already in this form.
This can conveniently be done by preparing an aqueous clay slurry and passing the slurry through a bed of cation exchange resin in the sodium form. Alternatively, the clay can be mixed with water and a soluble sodium compound such as sodium carb~onate, sodium hydroxide, etc., and shearing the mixture such as with a pugmill or extruder.
Smectite clays prepared synthetically by either a pneumatolytic or, preferably, a hydrothermal synthesis process can also be used to prepare these novel organic clay complexes.
Representative of such clays are the following:

1~772~2 Montmorillonite [(Al4 XM9x)si8o2o(OH)4_fFf]

where 0.55 _ x _ 1.10, f _4 and R is selected from the group consisting of Na, Li, NH4, and m:ixtures thereof;

where 0.28 'x '0.57, f = 4 and R is selected from the group consisting of Na, Li, NH4, and mixtures thereof.
These clays may be synthesiæed hydrothermally by forming an aqueous reaction mixture in the form of a slurry containing mixed hydrous oxides or hydroxides of the desired metals with or without, as the case may be, sodium (or alternate exchangeable cation or mixture thereof) fluoride in the proportions defined by the above formulas and the preselected values of x, y and f for the particular synthetic smectite desired. The slurry is then placed in an autoclave and heated under autogenous pressure to a temperature within the range of approximately 100 to 325~C., preferably 275 to 300C., for a suf~icient period of time to form the desired product.
Formulation times of 3 to 48 hours are typical at 300C.
depending on the particular smectite-type clay being synthesized, and the optimum time can readily be determined by pilot trials.
Representative hydrothermal processes for preparing synthetic smectite clays are described in U.S. Patent Nos. 3,252,757 "

aryl such as a phenol, or aralkyl such as benzyl alcohols; fused ring aryl moieties such as naphthalene, anthracene, and phenarthene.
The ~,y -unsaturated alkyl group may be selected from a wide range of materials. These compounds may be cyclic or acyclic, unsubstituted or substituted with aliphatic radicals containing up to 3 carbon atoms such that the total number of aliphatic carbons in the ~,Y-unsaturated radical is 6 or less.
The ~ unsaturated alkyl radical may be substituted with an aromatic ring that likewise is conjugated with Ithe unsaturation of the ~,y moiety or the ~,y-radical is substituted with both aliphatic radicals and aromatic rings.
Representative examples of cyclic ~,y -unsaturated alkyl ~roups include 2-cyclohexenyl and 2-cyclopentenyl.

The organic cation can thus be considered as having the following formula:

r 1 1 1 ~2 - I - R4 wherein Rl is the long chain alkyl group and R2, R3 and R4 are representative of the other possible groups described above.
The preferred organic cation is where Rl is hydrogenated tallow, R2 is benzyl and R3 and R4 are methyl.
Organophilic clay prepared from this organic cation is more fully described in U.S. Patent 4,116,866 which is commercially available from NL Chemicals, Inc.
under the trademark Bentone 27.
The amount of organic cation reacted with the smectite-type clay depends upon the specific clay and the desired degree of hydrophobicity. Typically, the amount of cation ranges from .f~ ' about 90 to about 150, preferably from about 95 to about 120 milliequivalents per 100 grams of clay, 100~ active basis.
The anion which will normally accompany the organic cation is typically one which will not adversely affect the reaction product or the recovery of the same. Such anions may be exemplified by chloride, bromide, iodide, hydroxyl, nitrite and acetate in amounts sufficient to neutralize the organic cation.
The preparation of the organic cationic salt (i.e., the organic cation paired with the anion) and the organophilic clay can be achieved by techniques well known in the!art. For example, when preparing a quaternary ammonium salt, one skilled in the art would prepare a dialkyl secondary amine, for example, by the hydrogenation of nitriles, see u.S. Patent No. 2,355,356, and then form the methyl dialkyl tertiary amine by reductive alkylation using formaldehyde as a source of the ~ethyl radical. According to procedures set forth in U.S. Patent No.
3,136,819 and U.S. Patent No. 2,775,617, quaternary amine halide may then be formed by adding benzyl chloeide or benzyl bromide to the tertiary amine. The contents of these three patents are 20 hereby incorporated by reference. As is well known in the art, the reaction with benzyl chloride or benzyl bromide can be completed by adding a minor amount of methylene chloride to the reaction mixture so that a blend of products which are predominantly benzyl substituted is obtained. This blend may then be used without further separation o~ components to prepare the organophilic clay.
The organophilic clays can be prepared by admixing the clay, the organic cationic salt and water together, preferably at a temperature within the range from about 20 to about lOO~C., ar~d pre~erably from about 35 to about 77C. for a period of time sufficient for the organic compound to coat the clay particles.
Thereafter, the organophilic clay can be subjected to a variety of optional recovery steps such as filtering, washing, drying and grinding.
Illustrative of the numerous patents which describe organic cationic salts, their manner o,E preparation and their use in the preparation of organophilic clays are commonly assigned United States Patent Nos. 2,96S,506, 4,105,578, 4,116,866, 4,208,218, 4,391,637, 4,434,076 and 4,450,095.

The organophilic clay used in the present invention may also be the reaction product of the smectite-type clay, the organic cation and an organic anion. The organic anion is selected from a wide range o materials which are capable of reacting with the organic cation in order to form an organic cation/organic anion complex which may be intercalated with the smectite-type clay. The molecular weight (gram molecular weight) of the organic anion is preferably 3,000 or less, and most preferably 1,000 or less and contains at least one acidic moiety per molecule so as to permit the formation of the organic cation/organic anion complex. The organic anion is preferably derived from an organic compound having a pKA less than about 11Ø
Preferable organic anions are derived from carboxylic acid, such as benzoic acid, sulfonic acids and alkyl sulfates, such as the lauryl half ester of sulfuric acid.
The organic anion, which includes mixtures of organic anions, is reacted with the organic cation and smectite-type clay ~ ,,27t~2~2 o form the organophilic clay and may be added to the reaction mixture in acid or salt form. Exemplary of the latter form are alkali metal salts, alkaline earth salts, ammonia and organic amines.
The amount of organic anion eeacted with smectite-type clay and the organic cation typically ranges from about 5 to about 100 milliequivalents, preferab.ly from about 10 to about 50 milliequivalents per 100 grams of clay, 100% active basis.
Illustrative patents which describe suitable organic anions which may be co-reacted with the organic cation and the smectite-type clay in order to form the organophilic clay include commonly assigned U.S. Patent Nos. 4,412,018 and 4,434,075.

The topical agent used in the compressed powder formulation may be any one or combination of materials commonly applied to a surface, especially the surface of skin. Exemplary topical agents are antiperspirant agents, deodorant agents, pigments, antifungal agents and insect repellants. The formulation may also include conventional fillers and/or processing aids, such as lubricating a~ents. Of course, the specific ingredient or ingredients used in the compressed powder formulation are selected depending upon the desired end use of the formulation. For example, when the compressed powder formulation is designed to have antiperspirant characteristics, the formulation may contain from about 10 to about 30%, preferably about 15 to about 25% by weight of known antiperspirant agents such as aluminum, chlorohydrate, aluminum chlorohydrex, aluminum zirconium chlorohydrate, aluminum ~;2772~Z

zirconium chlorohydrex, aluminum zirconium glycine complexes and mixtures thereof. The preferred antiperspirant agent is aluminum chlorohydrate.
The deodorant agent may be used alone or in combination with the antiperspirant agent and may be present in an amount ranging from about 0.05 to about 10~, preferably from about 0.1 to about 1% by weight. Typical deodorant agents include benzethonium chloride, triclosan, aluminum chlorohydrate, aluminum zirconium chlorohydrate, sodium aluminum chlorhydroxy lactate, cetyl pyridinium chloride, fragrances which will mask odors and mixtures thereof. The preferred deodorant agents are benzethonium chloride and triclosan.
Pigments which may be present in the compressed powder formulation may be any of those known in the art which do not substantially adversely affect the desired characteristics of the formulation. Fxemplary pigments are ultramarine blue, chromium oxide green, black iron oxides, titanium dioxides and mixtures thereof. When present, the amount of pigment is from about 0.5 to about 30%, preferably from about 3 to about 15% by weight.
Antifungal agent may be present in the compressed powder formulation in an amount ranging from about 1 to about 10%, preferably from about 3 to about 5~ by weight. Exemplary antifungal agents include zinc undecylenate, undecylenic acid and mixt~ures thereof. The preferred antifungal agent is a mixture of ~inc undecylenate and undecylenic acid.
Filler may be present in the compressed powder formulation in order to dilute the concentration of the active ingredients or reduce the cost. Typical fillers include talc, dicalcium phosphate, hydrophobic starch, microcrystalline ~77Z42 cellulose and mixtures thereof with the preferred filler being talc. When present, the amount of filler is fro~ about 5 to about 60~, preferably from about 20 to about 40% by weight.
A lubricating agent is used in the compressed powder formulation for the purpose of facilitating the release of the formulation from the compression mold. Typical lubricating agents include magnesium stearate, stearic acid, zinc stearate, calcium stearate and mixtures thereof with the preferred lubricating agent being magnesium stearate. When present, the amount of lubricating agent is from about 0.5 to about 3%r preferably from about 1 to about 2~ by weight.
The compressed powder formulation may be prepared by mixing the organophilic clay with the other ingredients in any order. Mixing may be achieved in a conventional mixer, such as a V-Blender, and is conducted for a period of time sufficient to ensure a substantially uniform mixture of the components.
Thereafter, the powderous mixture is compressed at a pressure ranging from about 200 to about 1600, preferably from about 2~0 to about 650 pounds per square inch, such as with a Carver Press, such that a compressed powder formulation which will maintain its physical integrity upon handling is obtained. Both mixing and compressing should be conducted in the substantial absence of free water which can solubilize the ingredients of the form~ulation which can in turn adversely affect the payout.
The shape of the compressed powder formulation is selected according to the intended use of the formulation.
Depending upon the specific ingredients in the formulation, the compressed powder formulation may be ~ade into antiperspirant or antideodorant sticks which are sized and shaped for convenient .

:~7~Z42 human use, eye shadows, make-up compacts, make-up sticks, blushes or rouge sticks, aftershave sticks, perfume sticks, talcum powder sticks, antisepticidal sticks or pellets, artistic chalks or foot powder sticks. The preferred formulations are used for antiperspirant and deodorant sticks.
In order for the proper amount of material to be obtained by contact with the cornpressed powder formulation, it has a payout ranging from about 10 to about 100 milligrams, preferably from about 40 to about 80 milligrams. Payout is determined by attaching a filter paper (whatman #541) securely to the pan of an electronic balance. Using the test material having the dimensions of a cylinder of 28mm in diameter, the compressed powder formulation is contacted with the surface of the filter paper and pressed down with a force that registers between 50-100 - grams on the balance. The stick is drawn across the filter paper 5 times (3 inches in each draw). The force during the draws should register between 50-100 grams. The "payout" corresponds to the total weight of the product deposited on the filter paper after the 5 drawdowns. Naturally, this test should be repeated several times to ensure that the results are consistent.
To a certain extent, payout can be controlled by regulating the molding pressure. Higher molding pressures generally lead to lower payouts and vice-versa. The payout should additionally be substantially uniform as indicated by an absence of large pieces te.g., greater than one eighth inch in maxim~m dimension) breaking from the formulation. The absence of such large pieces is a further indication that the compressed powder formulcltion will maintain its physical integrity upon handling.

~Z7~7242 An additional benefit of the compressed powder formulation of the present invention is that contact with moisture does not substantially adversely affect its payout property. That is, in contrast to many formulations which tend to exhibit a glazing effect when contacted with moisture, such as may be present in the form of wat:er or perspiration on the skin, the compressed powder formulation of the present invention retains a payout of at least about 90%, preferably at least about 95~ of its original payout. This significant advantage may be determined by immersing the pressed powder formulation in room temperature water for 30 seconds, permitting the formulation to completely dry and then conducting the payout test noted above.
In those instances wherein the compressed powder formulation does not contain a water soluble ingredient such as aluminum chlorohydrate, the formulation apparently regains its payout value by a simple drying mechanism. However, when a water soluble ingredient is present, the formulation regains its payout value by an exfoliation process wherein the surface cracks and peels off as flakes upon drying thereby revealing fresh surface. From an aesthetic standpoint, it is preferred that the flakes be smaller in size such as in the range of from about 1 to about 3 millimeters in maximum dimension.
As used in the present context, the term "consisting essentially of n excludes amounts of materials which will substantially adversely affect the ability of the formulation to be formed into a compressed body or will substantially adversely affect the compressed powder formulation to substantially regain its payout after being contacted with water.
